preme Court of the State yesterday sus-
tanned the will OF David Dickson, max
ing Amanda Ebendanks his heir, with a
fortune of half a million. The legatee

have civil rights as well as white peo-
pie, and that the will must stand.

SACRAMENTO, June l4.--Judge Arm
strong on Saturday last granted Amy
Ashe divorce from K. Porter Ashe
| On what grounds could not be lesrne q
as the matter has been kept very quiet
Mrs. e. B. Croker has legally adopted
Alma Porter Asbe. In regard to grant
ing the divorce with closed doors. Judge
Armstrong stated that he has ruled that
when either party to an action of this
character request that it should be done
he will so order. So far as he was con.
cerned the proceedings were above board
and it was not his fault that the Clerk
did not enter his orders. A personal
friend OF Mrs. Ashe, who had a
chat with Mrs. Crocker after the
divorce was granted, stated there
was no truth in the rumor
that Porter was given 500, 600 to con-
sent to the divorce. "She had him in
the door," said he, "and be had to sub
mit." ''He did not receive penny, !"
said Mrs. Ashes friend.
1t is thought here that all the pro-
ceedings instituted in Los Angeles about
the child Alma was scheme to attract
attention away from this city, so that a
quiet divorce could be had, without at
tracting any attention.
Directly after Mrs. Ashe was granted
the divorce she used her maiden name,
Amy G. Crocker, in appendng her sig
nature to a check. 1t is stated that
Ashe will 90 into partnership with
Thomas Williams, of Grand Island, in
the horse business.

facts of Ballona's first marine disaster.
The schooner Montezuma, laden with
lumber for Ballona harbor, has been
anchored to the south OF the new wharf.

the heavy swell running in at the time,
was quickly carried ashore. Her nose
was stack into the sand and her stern
was free to bump. Tho rudder was
soon knocked off and probably the stern
post sustained damage. The crew
jumped ashore easily. The steam schoon.
er Alcatraz, which came to the port Sat-
urday night, will try to tow her of. Il
10 extremely doubtful If this can be dom

The Y. c.. A. of the Baptist church
have made an engagement with this
justly celebrated troupe of Alpine
singers. The troupe consists of
eleven artists, being the pick of many
of the finest singers of continental
Europe. They came to America last
fall for limited number of engage
ments, and Owosso is to be congrat-
ulated upon securing so rare treat
as the "Swiss Warblers" will give.
The entertainment will be at opera
house and the admission price is
fixed at Soc; no extra charge for re-
served seats, which may be secured
at Roth's., The Quintette Club, who
so recently gave an entertainment
here, consisted of only five stars,

equal or superior talent and we trust
will be greeted with large audience.
We clip the following from the N. Y.
Tribune.
"At the monthly entertainment of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton last night Herr Andres Alpine
choir and Tyrolese Co., gave their
first concert in America, and the SIM
plicity and absence of affectation,
together with the pretty costumes of
the performers, seemed to please the
audience almost as much as the fine
performance ofthe Austrian melodies.
The company intend to make tour
of the Uunited States under the man
agement of the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau, after which they will return
to New York"
Canon Farrar writes as follows
about the Alpine choir:
HERR ANDRE, DEAR SIR:-I pre-
sided at an entertainment given by
your choir in Westminster Town Hall,
and was much gratified by the songs
and the manner in which they were
sung. am
